According to reports, the 2005 film “Hitch” starring Will Smith, Eva Mendez and Kevin James will be turned into a 30-minute sitcom for fox. Smith played dating consultant Alex “Hitch” Hitchens who helped the loveable Albert Brennaman played by Kevin James score a date, all the while trying to charm Sara Meles played by Mendez.

The sitcom is being described as as “a workplace comedy that explores dating and sexual politics.” No word yet on the cast, but Will Smith and his wife Jada are said to be the executive producers.

Almost a decade ago when the film first hit theaters, the rom-com grossed $370 million worldwide.
